Carport Clutter

Getting the carport clutter organized and contained.

“Only entropy comes easy.” — Anton Chekhov

Yeah, I feel that. My carport shelf was intended to make things neat, but it did the exact opposite… it became a magnet for clutter coated with pollen and grime.

Even the most organized pile of junk is still a pile of junk.

The first step in any worthwhile cleaning project is to turn a mess into an even bigger mess.

Okay, I take it back. The first step is actually online shopping. However, problems arise when you discover half-way through the project that the purchased item is defective, and you then have to look at this pile of junk in your parking space for a few weeks while a replacement arrives.

Garbage enclosure assembled! Just one catch: my existing garbage bin is too big by about half an inch. Luckily I have a neighbor willing to trade their square-footprint bin for my rectangle-footprint bin.

Crisis averted.

With storage units assembled, the next step is to install shelves. No one shelf can hold too much, since the L-bracket supports are screwed into pretty thin plastic. But it’s plenty strong to hold what I need it to hold.

Nice and tidy!
